A central theme explored is the concept of 'modernity' - its foundations, premises, and detrimental impacts on people and the planet.
The concept of modernity and its potential decline or stagnation in the face of population decline is a recurring theme throughout the discussion.
The episode discusses the impact of modernity on the disconnection from traditional values, practices, and connection to land, and the need for re-indigenization as a response.
The podcast episodes provided explore various aspects of modernity, including its philosophical, societal, and environmental implications.
Several episodes critique modernity's overemphasis on scientific rationality, materialism, and technological progress at the expense of spiritual, psychological, and ecological well-being, such as '"Stalker" by Andrei Tarkovsky: Modernity and The Sickness Unto Death' and 'The Revolution Will Not Be Psychologized, Part 2 (Interview w/ Báyò Akómoláfé)'.
Other episodes discuss the impact of modernity on social structures, such as 'The Modern Dating Catastrophe, Sex Recession & Population Collapse - Louise Perry' and 'Paradigm Altering Political Theory w/ Dr. Andrew Willard Jones', which explore the decline of traditional family structures and the erosion of Christian values.
The podcasts also explore the tension between modernity and indigenous wisdom, as seen in 'EVERGREEN | Vanessa Andreotti: Allowing the earth to dream through us' and 'For the Divine Mother of the Universe (w/ Nivedita Gunturi)', which advocate for a more relational and spiritually-attuned understanding of the world.
